That's a bizarre accusation and very easy to fact-check for yourself. It's trivial to run a packet sniffer and see all the information being sent out of your network.
I know for sure that my apple and my linux boxes aren't making any network connections that I don't understand.
- tomp 10y agoHuh - I was merely repeating parents (admittedly ridiculous) accusation.
- mark-r 10y agoBut how do you know your packet sniffer isn't compromised? It's turtles all the way down.
- kbenson 10y agoUnless you are running a sniffer on a separate device, you're likely far less sure of that than you think you are. There are multiple components in modern computers that have some level of system access and aren't terribly constrained by the kernel (possibly including the processor on your network card itself), and that's before you get into the kernel itself lying to you (either by design or through a module).
